Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    creates a new post type: pp_video_block makes their own additional “media bay” where you have to register/load your videos (not sharing benefices of WP functions on the WP media library and other plugins around that)… I wonder if the guys giving good reviews have tested other video solutions or have an extremely simple blog with very limited quantity of videos …
